I am old enough to have loved Elvis, young enough to have loved Janis Joplin, John Belushi and Michael Jackson. But I always realized that while they were great entertainers, they had big problems.
When they all died, far too young, due to their abuse of their bodies, people virtually treated them as if they were saints.
This is going to be short because I'm just wondering why people who choose drugs and get sick and die are somehow idolized.
